Satellite motion A period is the time for a satellite to do a complete orbit around the earth. and its about 90 minutes.
Knetic energy and potential energy stay constant everywhere during the satellites orbit.
Throw a stone at any speed and one secound later it will have fallen 5m below where it would have been without gravity.
A satellite in circular orbit close to the earth moves tangentally at slums during each secound it falls 5m between each

Circular orbits a circular orbit is the speed of a circling satellite is not changed by gravity.
Elliptcal orbits an ellipse is a specific curve the close path taken by a point that moves in such a way that the sum of its distance from two fixed
points called foci.
The first probe to ecsape the solar system pioneer 10 was launched from earth in 1972 with a speed of only 15 km/s.
The potential energy is greatest when the satellite is farlest away at the apogee.
